MR SPLASH (5) scored by 1.5 lengths last start at this track over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. Has a formidable combination with Rachaad Knights who has been aboard for his last three wins. Leading contender. AFTER THE GAME (4) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at North Dakota Horse Park at the previous outing. Has the class to find the winners' list. MAIN DUDE (1) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1006m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Can play a big role. AARON'S SPIRIT (2) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In contention this time.
